I’ve not getting a luck yet to find exactly what I want, but as long as it asks for password to access my files …that’s all I care for now :).

I have HDD and I just don’t like to leave it hang around somewhere and knowing the fact that anybody else can access it..pretty much. So, I started look around. 3 softwares, I’ve tried it all :). 2 out of 3, I have purchased the single license. But, it was my fault. I want to share my mistake, so nobody else do the same mistake like I did :).

First thing before you choose the password protect folder for your HDD, make sure you know that it is formatted under FAT or NTFS. Knowing this fact will help you to choose which software you can get. There are softwares that are not supporting NTFS, so if you have your HDD under NTFS format…you are out of luck. Well…not really. You can format the HDD and make a format to use FAT. But, it is not an option when you have several files that are important and you do not really want to touch or transfer any of these. FIRST RULE: make sure you know which system that your HDD has been formatted to.

Afterward, it is all about your preferences :). If the software make offers trial version, use the trial version to see how it works. If you don’t like it, simply uninstall it and go to the next one on your list.

For your references, these three softwares are the one that I tried for:

1. Lockngo, Demo version is available.
2. Secure Crypt 2.0. I couldn’t see how it works without full license, so I decided not to go with this one.
3. Password Protect Folder, Trial version is available.

I was looking around for external HDD password lock protection that work more like winXP, but no luck yet. When I find it, I’ll let you know :).

For a while, I’ve been searching for support documentations in regards to built in web camera troubleshooting that is installed within HP Pavilion dv9000 laptop with Windows Vista operating system. Eventhough I did the best keyword search phrases on the search engines, my results were nil due to uncommented posts on founded forum discussion related this issue. Then, I realized something … In accessing the registry for Windows Vista, it requires you to “run as administrator”.

The Steps:

1. If you have Hotmail MSN shortcut on your desktop, please select it and right click your mouse. Then choose “run as administrator”.
2. Sign in to your Hotmail Messenger. If you have set up Audio & Video setting, your built in webcam will work automatically. If not, please follow the next step.
3. Click “show menu” icon. Then choose “Tools - Audio and Video Setup”.
4. Follow Hotmail Messenger instruction and you are back to fun live webcam chat .

Enjoy !!! .Have a nice good & safe chat !
